I'm the breeder behind Foley Dachshunds located in Humble, TX. We breed for temperament and health. We give each of our dogs and puppies the best care that we can. We love our dogs and are passionate about raising our puppies to be the best family companions. The dogs live in my home and are great companions. The puppies learn this from their parents.
About Karen
I am a dachshund lover that has been showing AKC dachshunds for nearly 10 years. I enjoy the breed and want to help be a part of enriching the breed that I love.
What makes Karen’s program special
I am all about giving my customers an amazing dog that will be with them for a long time. I realize things happen and I will always welcome my puppies back if the need arises. I also do a lot of work with the puppies prior to them going to their furever homes.

About Bluey
Bluey is a real spitfire! She is courageous and daring. She will be protecting the house from intruders one minute and on her back letting me hold her like a baby the next. I expect that she will produce puppies with amazing temperaments. She has reached Grand Champion status with the AKC and is a great testament to what a Dachshund should be. I am proud that she is my first dog bred in my kennel and is carrying the Foley Dachshunds name.

Very happy and healthy pup. My vet was impressed with the medical records and care our baby had received before we adopted her.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
